The passenger seat of the car put a 10 pounds of computer bags, the road just ran into colleagues who went to work together, Ms. Zhang’s right hand carried the computer bag to the back of the seat. The bag changed position, did not expect to tear the shoulder tendon. A few days ago, Ms. Zhang went to Lee Wai Lee Hospital for tendon repair surgery. Dr. Ding Shaohua, chief of shoulder surgery, said that cases like Ms. Zhang’s, commonly known as the “driving shoulder” in medical terms, the hospital encountered 40 to 50 cases of this disease last year, the first hospital in Ningbo encountered nearly 100 cases. ”The gradual increase in cases of ‘driving shoulder’ is related to the popularity of small cars, in five or six years ago, this disease is still rarely encountered”. Move back a bag, got the “driving shoulder” Ms. Zhang 36 years old, is a company sales director. One morning in December last year, she rushed to work, by hand, the computer bag thrown on the passenger side, drive away. The computer bag put a laptop, product brochures and other work materials, probably more than 10 pounds. Halfway, Ms. Zhang saw colleagues waiting for the bus, honking the horn to signal its car. At the same time, she picked up the computer bag with her right hand, and then sideways to the back seat. At this time, she felt a sharp pain in her right shoulder, thought it was a flash, but at night when she went home and stretched, her right shoulder still hurt badly. In the following days, as long as she raised her hand over her shoulder, Ms. Zhang felt the pain in her right shoulder. She went to the hospital to get pain relief cream and medication, but there was no obvious effect, and her shoulder continued to hurt. Finally, at Lee Wai Lee Hospital, Dr. Ding diagnosed that Ms. Zhang’s shoulder was not a flash or an inflammation, but a medical condition commonly known as “driving shoulder”. What is “driving shoulder”? Dr. Ding explained that the professional name for driving shoulder is an injury to the anterior and posterior parts of the upper glenoid lip of the shoulder joint. The reason for this is that the arm is often over extended, which causes the biceps tendon to be repeatedly squeezed in the shoulder joint cavity, resulting in tendon wear and tear and local tissue inflammation and edema, causing shoulder joint pain. ”When carrying the computer bag from the passenger seat to the back seat, Ms. Zhang’s right shoulder shoulder joint was elevated and externally rotated, which easily caused damage to the biceps tendon at the stop in the shoulder joint cavity.” Ms. Zhang’s case is already relatively serious, conservative treatment has not been able to recover, need to do shoulder arthroscopic surgery to repair the tendon. At present, Ms. Zhang has been discharged from the hospital. What should I do if I have a “driving shoulder”? Dr. Ding and Dr. Jia sorted through the “driving shoulder” cases in recent years and found that most of the injured patients were young white-collar women. Dr. Ding said, “This is because women’s shoulder strength is much weaker than men’s, and many patients are injured because they are carrying computer bags.” He suggested, “When driving through a red light, we can shrug our shoulders, clockwise and counterclockwise, to move the cervical spine. Because when the muscles are stiff, injuries are more likely to occur.” ”In our common sense, shoulder pain is thought to be frozen shoulder, and even some orthopedic surgeons often use ‘frozen shoulder’ to diagnose shoulder pain in a general way. In fact, shoulder pain is not the same as frozen shoulder.” If the shoulder is diagnosed as “driving shoulder”, the first thing to do is to rest the shoulder and avoid lifting and external rotation for six weeks to give the damaged tendon a chance to repair itself without surgery. Generally, after conservative treatment, 90% of “driving shoulders” can recover on their own. Patients who like to play sports must remember not to do strenuous sports within six months of the injury. A special reminder to the public is that if you have a “driving shoulder”, you should never do shoulder exercises like frozen shoulder, such as pulling hoops, climbing high, or throwing your arms around, as this may aggravate the condition. What kind of movements are likely to trigger it? In addition to injuries from carrying a computer bag, there is also the possibility of shoulder injuries when riding a bus with an emergency brake; when driving a car and hitting the steering wheel; when a rear-end accident occurs, people rush forward but not their shoulders; when playing badminton or tennis; when playing basketball and dunking the basketball board. Recommend three groups of exercises to help “driving shoulder” recovery 1, pendulum exercise: in the state of bending the upper body two feet and shoulder width, the pain of the arm naturally down, relax and clockwise and counterclockwise direction to choose 2 minutes; 2, front side flexion exercise: lying flat on the bed, both upper arms to grab the ends of a wooden stick, so that the stick is 90 degrees vertical standing Then use the upper arm on the healthy side to push the other end of the stick to make the painful upper arm move forward and upward (be careful not to bend the wrist on the affected side when exercising), do this 10 times; 3, internal and external rotation exercise: lie flat on the bed, hold the ends of the wooden stick with both upper arms, keep the elbow joint flexion 90 degrees, the affected side of the elbow joint can be padded with a towel, then left and right movement, one direction to maintain 5 seconds and then turn to the other direction to move, do this 10 times.
